My experience is this mostly between men and generally not as common as it used to be. My dad is called by his surname by some of his high school pals and call some of them by surn…

I believe they mean realizing that if you had invested into stocks instead of money market you'd have likely realized a quite large return. Money markets seek to keep your returns …

It's tough. iperf is a reasonable tool. It works by setting up tcp connections and actually transferring data. I like the work https://fasterdata.es.net/ does. They provide clear g…

When I ran cross country in high school our coach always said to go on the sight of the smoke not the sound of the shot. This was when the starter was in front of the whole mass of…

I think 24 hours would be too slim. BGP is "routing by rumor" across a lot of AS's. I think a week would be more interesting allowing for route propagation to be a little slower. O…
